Nortje to Shepherd, SIX, this over could be the difference between a win and a loss. A full delivery angling into leg-stump, Shepherd clears his front leg and helicopters that over wide long-on, perhaps the best ball of the over and that too has flown. 32 off the last over and Ishan and Pandya are all smiles. Sachin is clapping as well, meanwhile Shepherd and Tim David walk off with arms around their shoulders
19.5
Nortje to Shepherd, FOUR, now the half-volley on the stumps, Shepherd drills it straight down the ground and again too much pace for long-off or long-on to get across and cut it off. What a cameo this is
19.4
Nortje to Shepherd, SIX, six more. A slower ball off-cutter dug in outside off, flat-batted cut over sweeper cover, pure muscle and power from the Guyana man-mountain
19.3
Nortje to Shepherd, SIX, holy hell. Shepherd is turning it on. He shuffles across and it's full on off and middle, he flicks over deep square leg and it has gone out of the ground, Tim David and the MI team loved it, need another ball as this one has disappeared
19.2
Nortje to Shepherd, SIX, what a blow. Fullish outside off, Shepherd leans back and gives it everything, a flat hit and it did not seem to have the legs to go all the way, but it flies into the crowd at long-on
19.1
Nortje to Shepherd, FOUR, this man is another beast. A slower ball leg-cutter outside off, shortish and Shepherd has pumelled this straight down the ground, no chance for long-off and long-on
